Some Cadillac ATS owners report experiencing issues with a sporadic passenger airbag light and dashboard lights malfunction, which may indicate serious problems with the vehicle's safety system. These issues can stem from malfunctioning airbag system components, electrical connectivity problems, or effects from recent accidents. Common causes include low battery voltage, loose or corroded battery connections, and faulty sensors. Additionally, some owners find that loose or corroded connections within the airbag system can trigger the airbag light, necessitating checks on the connections and wires for proper communication with the onboard computer. Passenger seat issues, such as objects on the seat, may also contribute to the problem. If the airbag light persists or if dashboard lights continue to malfunction, it is advised to seek a professional inspection from a trained mechanic or Cadillac dealership to accurately diagnose and address the underlying issues, ensuring the vehicle's safety.
